The East/South China sea issue is a real problem. I say this because the Chi-coms emboldened by Obozo and placed military assets on many of these islands. Obama created this by not blocking the militarization of these islands.

Last read, the Chi-coms have placed various types of radar throughout. Surface to air missile/anti-aircraft batteries, military landing strips, hangers, barracks...you name it.

Now what? To dislodge the Chinese from any one of these islands would mean war.

I’m no military expert but my guess is that China would lose those Spratly island assets in minutes if war with the US broke out.

They do serve to keep admirals and generals busy instead of plotting coups though.

To add to your observations: when the Panama Canal was transferred from US control to Red Chinese control, I thought to myself, “checkmate”! The Chinese play the long game. And now they are activating dissent via Chinese students in American universities—UCSD and Dalai Llama event.

The Reds are going to provoke confrontation while our armed forces are not capable of fighting on multiple fronts..
